  1. Re:The cult of Global Warming on FAA Plans to Clean Up the Skies · · Score: 1

    If you americans need to evacuate long island, who is going to pay indemnities? Who will decide which houses get protected by dikes and which ones are given up? Are you going to tell all these sea-side home owners "too bad, shouldn't have been driving that SUV around.."?

    Why not ask the residents of New Orleans?
  2. Re:Safari is the KHTML browser for Windows. on Safari 3 Beta Updated, Security Problems Fixed · · Score: 1

    I wonder why you're telling the "KDE dudes" that a Gecko-based Windows-only browser doesn't cut it.

  3. Re:Note to Open Source OS pushers... on 24-hour Test Drive of PC-BSD · · Score: 2, Informative

    Give him krita instead. As a side-benefit from not being able to complain about the name, he won't be able to complain about the window layout either.

  4. Re:Screw NASA on The Quest for the Car of the Future · · Score: 1

    Most of us pay for our electricity.

    Then again, from your condescending self-absorbed tone you clearly wouldn't care about little facts like that.

  5. Re:It's time for Sun on ZFS On Linux - It's Alive! · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Linux is just a kernel, while the BSDs are entire operating systems.

    You mean "GNU/BSD" - after all, C source code doesn't run directly on the CPU ;)
  6. Re:Text chat's easier to follow on Voice Chat Can Really Kill the Mood · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm just weird, but a lot of the time I can tell people apart just from their writing style, without a name.

  7. Re:Will somebody please explain... on 24-hour Test Drive of PC-BSD · · Score: 1

    You make it sound like failing to overrun a *nix operating system with a deluge of whiny Windows lusers is a bad thing.

  8. Re:The problem is our present-day exceptionalism. on Even Century Old Records Had Restrictive Licensing · · Score: 1

    Diagnostic partitions are only small. On the other hand, some manufacturers reserve half the drive for a "recovery" partition.

  9. Re:A supremely stupid idea on Marvel Studios to Produce Its Own Movies · · Score: 1

    I disagree, this is a great idea.

    With the extra profits they'll make, there's slightly less incentive for them to dilute one-half part content with three parts movie like they've done for the past 5 years or so.

  10. Re:Unforgiving? on Apple Picking a Fight it Can't Win With Safari · · Score: 1

    Most windows users are too ignorant to realise the OS is just another interchangable part, so they keep on using it.

  11. Re:And why does IE still hold about 80% of the mar on Apple Picking a Fight it Can't Win With Safari · · Score: 1

    Here's a more accurate version of that quote:
    sed -e 's/users/whiny, lazy, ignorant bigots/'

    Come to think of it, I've come across very few windows users that don't fit any of that description.

  12. Re:What do YOU think Apple is up to? on Apple Picking a Fight it Can't Win With Safari · · Score: 1

    OpenDarwin is a nice gesture and all, but I think the GP meant something with a mouse cursor.

  13. Re:sigh... on Sony Looks to 'Refine' PS3 Price · · Score: 1

    Yeah, sorry about that. Guess I'm still bitter that they killed off Shenmue mid-series.

  14. Re:perfect, well-rounded, bouncy on Perfect Silicon Sphere to Redefine the Kilogram · · Score: 1

    Hey, maybe he has a Borg fetish.

  15. Re:Lucky it was the police on Identity Thief Apprehended By Victim · · Score: 1

    Nearly everyone would agree that murdering someone in revenge is wrong.
    Even more would agree that doing it 6 million times is an atrocity.

    What I don't get is why so many people disagree when America does it.

  16. Re:sigh... on Sony Looks to 'Refine' PS3 Price · · Score: 2

    Ok, Sony - the PS3 is a milestone - sure to go down in history. Nothing can compare.

    Saturn? Dreamcast? Neo-Geo?
  17. Re:That big of a deal? on Scientists Attempt to Replace Crude Oil With Sugars · · Score: 1

    The big deal isn't the amount of oil going into plastic, it's that now we're less likely to suddenly have a plastic shortage in 20 years.
    TBH I'm more worried about running out of copper and silicon.

  18. Re:Um... Forever? on How Long Could You Live Without Your Gadgets? · · Score: 1

    I never understood people's obsession with mobile phones. I got one last christmas and I'm still wondering what the hell they expected me to do with it; 99% of the time I don't even use the normal phone.

  19. I wonder if... on Safari 3 Beta Updated, Security Problems Fixed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Konqueror's Win32 release will be as big a disaster.

  20. Re:What are non-violent games? on EU Considering Regulating Sale of Violent Games · · Score: 1

    Not only that, it's the longest block that gives the most points. Tetris is subliminal V14gR4 spam!

  21. Re:My Opinion on Linux Programmer's Toolbox · · Score: 1

    I can't remember the last time I saw a professional programmer that only spoke AOL.

  22. Maybe this is why... on What Happens If You Don't Pay for Goodmail? · · Score: 1

    ...my ISP's silently dropped 100% of my email since it changed its server software a few months ago.

  23. Re:Horrid UI on Safari 3 vs. Firefox 2 and IE7 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You complain about Safari's nonstandard UI, but you probably have IE7 installed all the same.

  24. Re:less bugs is always good on Safari 3 vs. Firefox 2 and IE7 · · Score: 3, Insightful
  25. Re:Actually, it IS FTL. on Far-Fetched Time Travel Concept Receives Private Funds · · Score: 1

    Depending on how long the time travel can be, I can think of other uses for it. I wonder how many GB of virtual memory you could juggle in a time loop...
